[Q] samsung galaxy mini wifi issue - General Questions and Answers

hey guys .
I bought a Samsung galaxy mini ( gt-s5570 ) ,its good except the WiFi .
It can work with my home network for only one time ,if i try to connect again it won't allow me .
I've tried (Nokia N81-Nokia N82-Nokia N8- Samsung Star- Samsung Star 2- Samsung galaxy SII- Samsung Note- Apple Iphone4s) and all of these devices works perfectly with my router ,so i think its the phone not the router .
the router is a Linksys WAG54G2 with latest firmware update version : V1.00.19 ,I've tried all type of security and i even disabled it without any luck .
I've been searching Google for over a month now without any success but I've noticed that this problem happens with many other handsets .
to fix it i have only two options :
1- restart the router ( which is inconvenient ) .
2- factory reset the phone ( can't live with an empty phone 4ever ) .
I tried everything on phone settings and on router settings with no success at all ,I even tried apps from android market to fix WiFi but it didn't work .
any help will be appreciated ,thanks guys.

there must be some hope !!!

does anyone know if it is a problem with hardware or software

I've been searching all over the internet for about 4 months now and tried all suggested work around but no luck at all ,how come such a perfect OS like android has such a stupid bug and its not only on Samsung mini its on many other handsets .How can't Google get a permanent fix for this problem and why everyone around the world is so quiet about this problem just because android is so good to be criticized .I was convinced that android is the best OS but now i don't know anymore .

i won't give up
and i'll wait for a solution to the most stupid bug on the most so called successful mobile OS of this time

Unfortunately i didn't find any solution. But i found out that this problem is only on the stupid android so if the WiFi usage is very important to you i'd advise you to switch to another OS.

Thanks for your reply.
It is just on galaxy mini.
I use the same wifi on note 2 and galaxy S advanced.
There should be somthing wrong in driver or device settings.

I didn't mean all android handsets have this problem, but what i meant is that this exact problem only appears on some android handsets. I totally agree with you that it must be a driver issue but as long as i've searched the websites, only android os handsets suffer from this driver issue. You can search google and you will be amazed how many android users searching for a fix for this problem.

I already stated that i can fix it by restarting my router but that's not a solution especially when i have to do it every 2 hours or so.

I had this same problem with my Mini. It's a kernel problem. It solved when I upgraded to Gingerbread through Kies.

Even after upgrading to gingerbread the problem still exist unfortunately. The most annoying thing with this problem is that its not under warranty. I've sent my device to samsung branch in my city two times and their response was "The WiFi is working just fine". I don't care what problems appear in the product as long as the manufacturer covers them under warranty.

Do you have Dlink router?
Maybe it is a router issue, as my wife's Galaxy S Advance has the problem with the same Wifi. It never had such a problem with other routers.
(I have not tested thr mini with the other routers yet.)

[Q] OPO flashed on CM11s - Mobile Data issues

[/ATTACH]Hello my friends,
I really need your help now. Since the Oneplus One is so new there are only few people having experience with the smartphone and it's Problems. I searched the whole Internet but dit not find anyone with the OPO who has the same Problem as me..
My OPO is the chinese Version and i flashed it without PC on CM11s.
But I found that my Smartphone has got no mobile Internet and also I am not able to call someone.
After I saw this I flashed the phone two more times, but with my PC and fastboot. I used the Images here: https: //cyngn.com /products /oneplusone/
Once I flashed my phone with PC and fastboot I got mobile data sometimes for about one or two minutes, after that it breaks down.
My APN's are the same with my Provider.
I tried to solve this Problem for the whole weekend, I now even consider selling the phone again..
It would be really really nice if someone is able to help me!
Best regards,

hi
I had a similar problem. I had a sim card trimmed with scissors and was too loose.
I replaced the card with a new one.
A problem, however, remained. Sometimes I can not call, sometimes not the Internet. It looks like something crashed and helps only restart.
You tried to upload the "modem chack"?
I have the same problem. I hope it is not something with hardware.
I don't know... could you check production date on the box?
Sounds like a kernel issue, did you flash the right one?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What do you exactly mean saying rightone?
If you have a Chinese version then you need a kernel made for your phone.
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I instaled cm11s in fastboot according to instruction on this site. Can you show us which kernel we must use?
I'm exactly the same. I installed by the recovery and than two times through fastboot. ROM from the official site.
Another one here! I have exactly the same thread starter problem, 1 min after turn on the phone I cant call anymore or sending messages...
Right kernel? Can someone explaine? I have tryed to flash 3 version of CM11 and return back to ColorOS, the problem is not solved :|

Bump!
Please help us boys, I have tried everything, I really dunno what to do
same problem
I'm having the same problem, the phone was working just fine when i first used it on ColorOs with voice calls working on 4g. however, as soon as I flashed CM11 it stopped working and I can only use 2g to make phone calls even though 4g internet works fine. I have flashed ColorOs but a rooted one, CM11 and other roms the problem is still there. If some one can find a solution for us I would be grateful.
if someone tried to flash modem hack... I've seen 3 versions...

the problem still occurs?

I have the same issue, after flashing to CM11s, its like the cell network is sick, turn on for a while, then off. when the phone is in the pocket (sleep) totally not network, and people cannot call in.
I flash back to Colour OS, more stable and 4G is working fine.

If you didn't flash a new radio, then its probably a kernel issue.
Sorry where can i find the new radio for OPO...?

hi
I could not find radio.img for the OPO. I found the network settings through the code: *#*#4636#*#* and changed the settings.
was: TD-SCDMA, WCDMA and LTE
new: LTE / WCDMA
and see if it is ok...

Connected, no internet WiFi problem after Nougat update - BTU

Hello guys!
After Nougat update, the WiFi connection stops from time to time. A exclamation mark appears on WiFi sign and internet is not working. If i reconnect everything is ok a while. I wiped, but i still have this problem. I tested on 2 different routers.
Anyone else with this? Solutions?

Have you tried assigning the phone a static IP?
See if it still drops, if not it could be having a problem with DHCP

Settings > Connections > WiFi > Long press on your wireless connection > Manage network settings > Show advanced options > Change DHCP to Static
Make sure correct IP, Gateway, DNS etc is filled in and hit save
Mine auto filled it from the previous DHCP info it already had so just have to hit save
This was a useless recommendation. There're too many people with an issue and this shouldn't be a problem. Especially when the same device and routers has no problem befor nougat and then continuous problems after update.

More like off shore tech support. At least you didn't recommend factory reset of the guys phone.
But seriously? Troubleshooting? It seems you know the meaning, but not the steps. If you build some before, after, and comparitive context to the users situation, you may have come to a different conclusion.
To the poor soul that gets here with a question burning in everyone's mind, "why me?" Go to Samsung and complain, get a new phone and viola, problem passed on. Especially if you just got it. There are a bunch of issues that you may also be unlucky to have in addition to the WiFi struggling to accept what it thinks as a weak internet connection.
Context:
I did not have any of these issues pre-Nougat;
Nothing change at home, work, and I assume the other locations either;
After the update I factory reset hoping for resolution;
Nope. Purely ignored defect from Samsung...
In addition I suffer from loudspeaker audio cutting out on YouTube videos, which is resovled if you go to a music player and play a few seconds of a song and then go back to the video. Must be the static IP need... Which even if it resolved the issue is still not a resolution! Are you going to assign static IPs everywhere you go? Common dude.
I have the exact same wifi connected, but no internet problem on AT&T S7. It connects if i toggle wifi off and on, but this is annoying

I had this problem in the past.
What I did was look up the APN settings for my phone with a specific carrier.
Then I went into settings and created a NEW APN with those exact settings.
You then have to save it, select it, and reboot your phone.
It solved my problem, which was an APN that had gotten corrupted.

Mate 9 wifi hotspot issues and Latest Firmware version?

HI,
using my Mate 9 as hotspot my iPad (2017) connect to the Mate and then it disconnect it's self in 2 seconds , it reconnects and disconnect again over and over.
After struggling for weeks i found on the Apple support forum that a lot of Mate users have the same problem and the solution would be update the phone to the latest firmware version.
I run on a EUROPE stock ROM (MHA-L29C432B194) not rooted device is my FW the latest available or there is a newer one?
I have not so much experience with Huawei ROM so i would like to know where is possible to find a list of all FW (the link on XDA does not work).
Tank You for the help!
Version 194 is the latest one if you wanna try other firmwares, by this I mean older ones try Firmware
Finder from play store, search the forums on how it works.
I don't have this problem with my MHA-L29C432B194. Even with older firmwares I have been regularly using it as hotspot for different types of apple (iphone 5, 6 and ipad 2, pro) and some android gadgets. The connection is always stable.
Do you have some VPN or Firewall software installed?
Btw, I don't believe the Apple support too much. They could as well just be clueless and perhaps wanted to simply shake you off.
I have done many test and the iPad works perfectly with any wifi network/hotspot except for the Mate9.
I Have:
Downgraded iPad's firmware to the 10.3 from the 11.0.1
Checked operator APN configuration
Tried Mate 9 factory reset but dosen't help.
Connected the iPad to an hotspot wifi created trough an MATE S and it works perfectly.
I moved my SIM to test it in another phone (note 4) and tethering/hotspot works perfectly.
The strange thing is that the Mate 9 hotspot works perfectly whit other device except for the iPad so I'm wondering if there is some kind of hardware issue.
Sharing the internet connection trough the Bluetooth works perfectly but obviously the speed connection isn't fast as the wi-fi hotspot mode.
This is the link to the apple support forum where other users talk about this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8081358?start=0&tstart=0
I hope it can give some clue to those having the same problem.
My firmware it's the latest so i think i can just wait and hope in the next firmware.
Are you running the hotspot in 2.4GHz or 5GHz? There have been other reports of devices (not just Apple's) struggling to connect to the Mate's 5GHz hotspot.
Give 2.4GHz a shot, anywhere between channels 1 to 11.
Having said that I don't any issues connecting my MacBook Air (macOS 10.13) to my Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B194) in the 5GHz band.

I have the same hotspot bug on firmware 194 on my Mate 9, was OK before this. I´ve been reading that the honor 8 got the same bug after the latest firmware update as well here in Finland.
Hello, I had the same issue as you. In fact I called Apple Support to try and resolve the issue.
After a lot of trial and error, it turns out that the Mate 9 was the culprit after updating to L19C636B188.
Fortunately for me, there was another update L19C636B189 which resolved the issue.
So the only solution for you is try to contact Huawei to let them know that there's a problem, OR rebrand to a different version.
Just posting this to let you know that you are not the only one experiencing this. I actually went to the Apple Store and try all their devices to connect to my Mate 9 hotspot, and all connects/disconnects continuously.

I had same issue. I got iPhone 7Plus and Mate 9 (C636 brand)
My iPhone 7+ connect and disconnect from Mate 9 hotspot every sec
Only 2-custom ROMs was able to fix this for me (tested and confirmed from me as at the time of this post).
1. RomAur+B182+v1.5
2. Stock_Rom_B198_fRomFuture (already deleted by dev from the main forum)
Hi!
I just got a OTA firmware update version to MHA-L29C432B197 that totally solved the Wi-Fi hotspot issue!
Check it out the update!

Nice to hear that... Time to check on B197 custom ROMs
Same problem here. I was going crazy over this. I'm so glad I found this thread because I was about to throw my ipad against a wall.
i have same problem with honor 9 lite, and my friend having 7x also has that problem, hotspot turns on and off when device is locked. I think it is due to some battery saver or maybe a bug which huawei didnt noticed. Almost all honor devices has that problem.

"Suro T0004502" Cool security phone with a serious bug.. and cant find any info at ALL HELP!!

Well I have an interesting one for yall today, someone gifted me this phone..
It's a 'high security' type phone with a hard switch on the side to toggle security modes.. I was intrigued..
After looking over it's almost pure black shell, I found a name / model..
SURO CARBON
T0004502
And thats it..
The problem with the phone is it's stuck on a proprietary activation screen... I sign into wi-fi ,
then as any android does, immediately searches for software updates.. Gathering that I cant
find any info.. I assume it's due to the company tanking and servers being taken offline,
thus it cannot complete the update process, gives me a generic "Encountered a problem"
screen with no error codes or anything.. then is pretty much locked until I reboot it...
oh it also DEMANDS I have a sim installed to even continue trying to activate
the regular Vol- / Vol+ /+/ PWR don't seem to do anything at all either..

Question Latest Update Failed on Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46 mm

Hello everyone,
Like many of you I am having the same problem updating my watch, I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46 mm and it is well connected in bluethooh to my Samsung Galaxy S 22 Ultra and also connected in Wifi to my Orange Box (Fiber).
As soon as I ask for the update, this one:
On my phone "copying the update to your watch.."
Except that it loads endlessly and nothing happens!!!
I see that there is the same problem on Galaxy Watch 4 but also Galaxy Watch 5.
Is there a solution please?
Thank you in advance for your assistance
I had this problem in the past with watch 4 and S22 u. I solved it by shutting down the Bluetooth before downloading the upgrade, thus letting the watch to download it directly via wifi. I think that per default it's trying via the phone and for same reasons it's not working. I reconnected to the phone before applying the update.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer @Marcelocohenarg , I tried to do what you described to me above in your comment and unfortunately it does not work. The watch absolutely wants the connection with the phone in bluetooth in order to do the update, when I disconnect the bluetooth, a message appears telling me that the bluetooth connection between the watch and the phone is mandatory. I contacted Samsung, they made me install the Samsung Members app to generate a bug report and within 15 days I should have an answer for this BUG, whether a new update will fix this problem or whether I need to send my watch to Samsung's after-sales service.
Do you have any other solutions or ideas?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day everyone.
Nicholas
Hello, the requirement to be connected to the phone is new to me, perhaps it's something that appeared with the new release. Assuming the wearable app has all the permissions, another silly question is if you tried to do this being connected with both phone and watch to a different wifi network, and of you tried via 4G / 5G, that is, shutting down the wifi both in the phone and in the watch.
I faced the same issue, and I've read somewhere, a suggestion to clear all data from the galaxy apps on the phone.
I didn't worked for me (even did a reset on the watch), but you can try that one.
For me, the solution was to do a reset on the watch, use a 2nd phone to config the watch as new (no restore), than I was able to update. After that, reset again, repair with old phone and restore backup.
I had the same problem, the update did not work through phone, only through wifi on the watch itself (bluetooth disabled, not connected to phone)
Hello everyone, @Marcelocohenarg , @spysky , @smashda ,
again a big thank you for your messages and your help in solving my software update problem.
I checked the Galaxy Wearable app on my phone and there are all necessary permissions.
I'm at my work right now and I can't test all the solutions you offer me to solve my problem. What I know is that the watch absolutely wants to go through a phone to do this update. I don't have any other Android phones around, most people I know have Apple phones (Sheep lol). So I thought of one thing, I have a Samsung Galaxy TAB A tablet from 2015, do you think it is possible that I install Galaxy Wearable on it and reset my Galaxy Watch 4 with my tablet in order to pretend it's the same as a second android phone that I don't have on hand???
Thanks in advance for your help and feedback.
Hi, I have a Galaxy Tab S2, that I think is also very old, and I just installed the Galaxy wearable app, so what you propose probably can be done. I don't know if the watch itself can be connected to two different devices at the same time, so you may need to disconnect it from the phone. Just out of curiosity, because there are a lot of people including me that didn't have this problem, could it be that you have another app that could be interfering with this? Tell us if you succeed.
Goodnight all, @Marcelocohenarg , @spysky , @smashda ,
I tested a reset of my watch and the installation of Galaxy Wearable on my tablet, unfortunately the association cannot be made between a watch and the tablet for the Wearable application, here is the message delivered by the tablet: " It is not possible to associate a watch or a bracelet with a tablet for the Galaxy Wearable application".
Suddenly, I'm really annoyed because I don't have many people around me who use an Android phone. I do not know what to do anymore. If you have other ideas, I'm all ears.
In the meantime, thank you
Hello, Hello everyone, @Marcelocohenarg , @spysky , @smashda ,
Solution found, I asked a friend to lend me his Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone running Android 10, I factory reset my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm completely, I installed the Galaxy Wearable app on the Samsung Note 9 and I followed the steps to associate the phone and the watch, then I launched the search for update, the download of this one went correctly and crucial moment the copy of update s is done correctly and the installation too. After that, I reset my watch again and paired it with my Galaxy S22 Ultra for good and everything works!!!
Unfortunately I still do not explain why the last update of my Galaxy Watch 4 (GVK7) did not want to be done via my personal phone and my watch. It may be a software version problem or other but in any case no hardware defect of the watch.
I hope that my feedback can help you if in the days to come you encounter the same problem.
Thank you again for your messages and your help ;-)

Hello everyone,
here is Samsung's solution in a photo following the error report I sent them, unfortunately I couldn't test if it worked because I reset my watch with a friend's Galaxy Note 9 and I updates from his phone.
I wish you a good Sunday.
Yesterday i have the same problem and it was simple to recover that....
Just turn off your phone, connect your watch to a wi fi network, go to settings on your watch and apply for updates.
Hi
I have always had this problem. Pixel 4a GW4 Classic.
I tried also multiple times. No luck. But then I remembered.... Watch and phone connected to same WiFi. Start the update from the watch. If it's starts downloading, turn off Bluetooth in watch. Hope it helps, next time.
